What is the purpose of these particular touch and goes?
– is it to teach a landing followed (quickly) with a take off?
(and after a couple of good ‘uns does the ‘base checker’ get out and you do it on your own?)
– Or is for airport familiarisation?
– Or is it neither of theses?
– And yes it must be good fun.
Purpose: usually to complete type rating training. The student will not see any more until he either changes type (but he might do the whole TR training in a sim) or becomes a base trainer himself.
Base checker get out? No!
Airport famil: no.
